We've had our Ariya for a few weeks now, and not one bit of buyer's remorse yet. We got a very low mileage used 2023 Evolve+, and it's a wonderfully comfortable car, and I agree that it's fun to drive. The rearview video mirror is great not only because you don't have to worry about anything in the car blocking the view, but you don't get the sun or overly bright headlights reflecting directly into your eyes. Beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder, and I love the look of this car. It's a bit larger than I thought I'd be comfortable with, but with all the driver assist features, I felt at ease in it pretty quickly. Our favorite charger (until we get one for the house) is in front of a grocery store, so we can shop while it charges, which helps it be a bit more convenient at the moment. 🙂
I test drove one last week and there is a lot to like, but if you live in a warm climate think twice. It was 105F in Phoenix that day and the HVAC struggled to keep things cool even at full low temp and high fan.
This vehicle is seriously underrated. We sold our Tesla Model Y Austin Build a while back. The range never lived up to what Tesla promised and charging was slow. Don’t believe the market hype of peak charging numbers. It’s all about how it holds those high levels through the charging range. A few nice features not covered here: You can roll the windows down by holding the unlock button on the key fob, The dash buttons for HVAC are adjustable for sensitivity, the range while not as high as say Tesla is accurate for highway range. Our 2023 Evolve+ AWD will get an honest 270 miles range on the highway at 70mph. This car if faster, quieter, better appointed, charges faster than our Model Y. The best part is you can get these cheap on the used market and soon they will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network. Don’t overlook this Nissan….it should have been an Infinity.

Im glad to hear your ownership experience has been positive!
